School Daze With 11 Children

School Daze Past – I recall school mornings as a child. How did.she stay sane getting 7 kids ready for school when there was 4 more babies whining in the background? 😳 Breaky was toast and cocoa…She would get us to stand on a chair in kitchen one by one.except the older ones who would dress themselves… after she brown bagged our paper thin Klik sammiches or pb and jam and a fruit. We would have to drink water from school fountain when thirsty. She would get me dressed and brush out my long hair, if she couldn’t find the hair brush she would put a hat..toque if winter upon my head. 😳 Then rush us out the door to catch the bus..then tend to the babies, cook and clean house after she put rollers in her hair and lipstick on..lol. After her full day..you could find her standing in front of kitchen sink doing supper dishes…actually fallen asleep..hands in water. Poor Momma! What a beautiful warrior she was!

Faithful On Friday

What an amazing world it can be once we realize just how screwed up the world can be and we start down a different road not wanting to deal with unwarranted chaos and dysfunction. I don’t like to think being a mean person is a trait we are born with. I like to think we are all born sweet and innocent. Boy am I naive eh..lol..Giving birth to 3 babies, one thing I will never forget is the scent of a newborn, there is nothing else like it. It was beautiful and so calming that I would forget the past 12 hours of pain I just went through to bring this child into the world. A world that can really stink at times. So that maternal instinct would kick in, to protect my child from anything and anyone. However there is times and places we maternal beings can not be there to do that, so lets hope and pray that the child does not forget our teachings of protecting themselves when they are away from the nest and or leave the nest.
Your innocence can leave you prey to some people that thrive on hurting others and at times it can be hard to see or even hear a selfish demon…until they have you by the throat, heart and soul. But don’t let them think you are not strong enough, smart enough to know your worth.
Remove yourself from a relationship that you find you are hurting and crying more from the pains of it instead of tears of joy that a real honest love should bring to your life. Be with someone who contributes to filling you with the good stuff when it comes to being alive, not empty you, leaving you filling dragged down and with a lack of spiritual energy.
When we give a part of ourselves to another, we should look and feel like we are in a place of peace in our lives and because you have continually worked on being the person you are, the right person will just be another ray of light in your life not a dark shadow.
Remember you are worthy of what you radiate and the right people will remind you of that, especially on your cloudy days. Be well..be happy..be alive!

Creator , grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

Grandparent Memories

Thinking of Grandma & Grandpa Solomon today (dads parents) use to love visiting them in their big house. Her kitchen counter was low compared to most, while she was busy cooking at the stove she would let me use the mixer to whip up dream whip for cake dessert and I felt like a big girl standing at those low counters..lol..her chatter with Mom and the rest of adults there at the time is a good memory. When I was done with the Dream Whip, I would run to Grandpas room. He would be sitting at the edge of his bed..a plaid shirt, black cardigan and a black hat. He didn’t talk much at all..he just smiled when I come running into his room. Pat the bed beside him for me to climb up and sit down. Into his shirt pocket he would reach and take out a stick of Wrigleys gum to give me. Just a smile..and that was okay because I would sit beside him, kick and swing my legs..my hands in my lap and smile too. It was perfect! It is true..sometimes you don’t have to say a word because just sitting next to some one who loves you is enough. I miss you Grandma and Grandpa. I am sure Grandma is in heavens kitchen cooking up rabbit stew with dumplings and Grandpa is handing out a stick of gum to all the angel children when they cross over. Till we meet again Grandma and Grandpa. Love you so much.😪❤

Relax! It’s Coming!

 I truly believe in the law of attraction and that believing certain things and people come to me when I radiate the positives, push aside the negatives.manifest! manifest! There is a method to my madness..lol and learning to relax my brain, calm my thoughts and just be still at least once a day is the beginning. For example, when I think of something I want or need..and I will say that again…want or need!!..don’t expect to get everything you want, yes at times you will only because the universe believes you and those around you can benefit from that want but your needs will always be met! I promise. 😉 Remember as a child at the toy section in a department store, shopping with your parent or the child you have now, seeing a toy and saying, “Mommy/Daddy, I want that!! Please please!” Squealing, and hands in a praying formation?..lol..Your parent saying,” No, you don’t need it!” . That was when we figured out saying we need gets results, so we changed our plea to. ” yes..I need it Mom/Dad!”, and coming up with some lame excise why we absolutely need it. Only to have our parent laugh, saying, ya, you need it all right!. 😂 And alot of times that worked because we did end up walking out of the store with that needed toy..lol..Well don”t get that dramatic when you are trying to manifest a need..Calm down! Be specific with your request, the universe doesn’t have time to unravel your thoughts..lol.

Also don’t start out making a request and your 2nd thought is,” Nah, that won’t happen for me. I don’t deserve it”. Again you are only confusing the universe again. Make the darn request sincerely, then let it be! Go on with your life. Yes you can ask for manifestation daily of a certain need and take the minute to actually see yourself enjoying the manifestation.

And most importantly don’t let a negative environment discourage you! Learn to stay away from negative people and situations! Ain’t nobody got time for dat! 😂.. Dreams may not always come true, you have to work at being positive, time and effort put into something will always be rewarded.

I promise.😊

Rise!

You’re not the person I knew, a comment I am sure many of us have heard later on in our lives because we have changed, I am hoping for the better! I think the greater percentage of us have been through hell and high water and have come out the other side a better person because of it. Yes, like many, I have been abused physically, mentally and emotionally. I have been back stabbed by the last person I never thought would, I have had a youth spit at my feet several times, I have had empty cupboards, an empty wallet and have just felt empty spiritually

” but still I rise” ( Maya Angelou).

And a lot of times we all experience these things not because of who we are but because of the abuser without compassion and respect. Sorry is hard to say for many and mean it, as is to say, I forgive you. Learn to forgive and then take yourself out of the line of fire! Continue to rise! Be part of the best change in your life!
